Growth, How I Did It
How Flippa hit $100 million in turnover in its first four years
At a time when many Australian exporters are suffering because of the strong dollar, one start-up is making it big online.
Melbourne-based Flippa has just broken through the $100 million turnover milestone just four years after it launched. Almost as impressively, just 5% of its traffic and business comes from Australia.
Founded as a spin-off from Sitepoint by Mark Harbottle, Matt Mickiewicz and Dave Slutzkin, the venture allows for the "flipping" of websites by creating a marketplace for them to be bought and sold.
The business, which has 14 employees, posted revenues of $3.2 million last year and was highly placed in this year's StartupSmart Awards.
StartupSmart speaks to Slutzkin about how Flippa has attracted an army of customers with almost no marketing.
What's the philosophy behind Flippa?
We think that our customers have the best ideas. Sitepoint had a lot of clever people using it who sold websites on its forums. It made sense to formalise that role and create a proper marketplace with a structured place to sell a website.
So four years ago, we spun Flippa out and it has grown strongly. We've made it 10 times better than it was at the start, I'd say.
How many sites have been sold through Flippa?
About 100,000 sites have been sold. At entry level of the market, have lot of sites selling for $300 to $500. There is a good group of sellers there but the buyers quite disparate.
And then at the other end, when you're looking at sites worth $50,000 to $300,000, you have sellers who drop in once, because not many people have that many valuable sites to sell, but buyers hang around. A lot of the buyers are investors and entrepreneurs looking to make money off valuable sites.
On pricing, we leave it up to the market because people out there are a lot better at that kind of thing. Safety is the most important thing, so we do a lot of vetting.
Once in a while we are proven wrong in value; people see things they really value that we don't. So it's best left to the market.
If you put a lot of work into something, you value that work fairly highly. A year of your time is worth a lot of money.
Around 50% of the market is at the entry level, and then the more elaborate sites are priced at anything from $1,000 to $500,000.
What has been the most expensive site sold on Flippa?
We sold a site for $830,000, which was a private transaction that only the buyer saw.
Other than that, Inquisitr, at $330,000, is a pretty good Australian example of a site that sold for a decent amount of money.
Is your pricing strategy is similar to eBay?
We take small fee up front (of $29) because you need barrier to entry to avoid being flooded by every site in the world.
But it then works like eBay in terms of promoting the site to sell, such as adding pictures and making the listing in bold.
We ask almost every day 'what would eBay do?' They are a great company, so it would be folly to ignore them. They've got a few more people than us, so I think they know what they are doing when they change something in the selling process.
We don't slavishly follow them, but we certainly note what doing.
What's your selling process like, then?
You have to prove you own the site, which you can do by adding a meta tag front tag, or by sending an email from the domain address. That takes 30 seconds.
The seller has to write a pitch themselves to says what the site is, why it's good, and why they are selling.
'Why are you selling it?' is a big question. It might be just because you're bored. But we encourage people to put as much information as possible.

There are very few people, or rather, I would put it this way that very few sane people would recommend drinking alcohol. And fewer among them would even ask women and youngsters to have a sip. Hic.
However, in Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh, there is a temple where the deity drinks alcohol and you are expected to bring picture full of Soma Rasa to offer to the deity.
This is the temple of Kalabhairavanath and the deity is famous for its addition to alcohol. Believe it or not, the deity drinks all the alcohol placed before its mouth. No one has been able to figure out the peculiar phenomenon.
Devotees who come to the temple here offer bottles and sachets of alcohol which are then placed by the priest before the mouth of Kalabhairava.
What amazes the devotees and of course I too was stunned, was that the deity seems to be able to hold its drink. It keeps on drinking and it is ready for more. How this statue in stone consumes so much alcohol and what happens to the liquid is still a mystery.
One of the oldest temples of Ujjain and even India, the Kalabhairava temple is associated with the Tantric cult. In ancient times, this temple was more known as the centre of black magic and tantra.
Although tantric practices are outlawed, you can still see sadhus with matted hair and ashes dabbed all over their bodies mumbling tantric mantras, none of which make sense to ordinary people.
For them, this temple is the Kshetra palaka of Ujjain.
The temple is in the north of Ujjain and is close to the banks of the Shipra. The temple is so huge that it resembles a fort. Nearby is the underground temple of Patala Bhairavi. There are temples of Vikranta Bhairav Naraditya nearby.
According to Puranas, Kalbhairava is considered to be the chief of the spirits created by Shiva. As even Kaal or time is scared of Bhairava, he is also called Kalabhairava.
The Kalabhairava temple here is believed to have been built by King Bhadrasen. This is mentioned in Avanti Khanda of the Skanda Purana.
Once the devotee hands over the picture, bottle or even sachet of alcohol to the priest, it is offered as Naivaidya to the idol. After a major portion of the liquid is gulped down by the statue, the rest is given back as prasada to the devotee.
So you can se, devotees flocking to the temple with all kinds of liquor in all shapes and sizes of bottles and containers. No wonder, liquor is available just outside the temple all through the year.
By the way, there is a statue of a black dog at the gate of the temple. This is so as the black dog is supposed to be the vehicle of Bhairava. Therefore, you can find hundreds of devotees feeding and taking care of dogs every Saturday. The priest will tell you all your problems will vanish if you take good care of dogs.
Bhairava is also called the kotwal for guarding the temple of Shiva.
This temple has never a dry day whatever be the festival or occasion. Liquor is freely available but mind you it should first be offered to the deity. You will anyhow get it second.
Ujjain is easily approachable by road and it is near Bhopal. There are many hotels and eateries here.
All I conclude by saying is, Hic Hic hurray.
There is a similar teple in Kerala in Parasinikkadavu in Kannur district. Lord Shiva came here to quench his thirst and no water was available. A devotee Muthappa a Hunter gave some toddy to Lord Shiva. Here, Toddy and Tea are given as Prashad.
You are right Mr. Govindarajan. I have been to the temple and it is worth visiting. I will be writing about it later. Thanks for the information and also your interest.
Thanks for the detailed info.. made for a good read .. :) I was wondering if you know of any Bhairavi temple in Bangalore or surrounding it. Would be great if you point out to one.. :) thanks .. and keep writing.. God Bless India..
Thanks for the useful information. Your article is beneficial for us and those who are searching for ujjain temples.

Q: Audio delay using discrete components I would like to make a circuit that causes an audio delay using discrete components.
I know I can do small phase shifts using an opamp, but I am looking for something in the millisecond or second range.
Is there any way, at least easily, to do this with discrete components?
EDIT: I would like to know this for both the purposes of synchronization as well as reverb and such. This may take two completely different paths, but both paths are applicable to work I will be doing.

A: There are a lot of ways to get a delay, but I don't know of any that just use "discrete components".  The best way to do reverb in the modern world is to use a DSP.
The only way I know of to do this "analog" is to use physical objects like rooms or metal plates, or magnetic tape.
"In the millisecond or second range" is a pretty huge range, you know.  If you have a circuit that produces 1 ms of delay, you would need 1,000 of them to get to 1 second.  Older reverbs created long tails using feedback, rather than long delay elements.    Schroeder reverb, enhanced version
You can use all-pass filters to add short delays, but they delay different frequencies by different amounts, resulting in phase distortion.  4 -  Delay correction,  Projects

Otherwise you need to use bucket brigade devices, which emulate a slow transmission line.  But they aren't really analog (they used switched capacitors which are analog in voltage but discrete in time, so they alias etc just like digital) and aren't feasible to make from discrete components anyway.

Figure 1: A simple eight-stage bucket-brigade device (or BBD) delay line.

A: One common method is to use a circuit know as a bucket brigade.
These circuits consist of a chain of capacitors. Connecting the capacitors are switches. By driving the control signal for the switches the signal is transferred from one capacitor to the next each time the control (or clock) signal transitions. The time delay you can achieve is limited by the number of stages you have and the slowest sampling rate you can tolerate.
Because you need many stages to create a longer delay it is not really practical to implement this with discrete components. There are a few ICs that implement the function varying from 512 to 4096 stages. With 4096 stages a 20kHz sampling rate will give you 100 ms of delay. You could cascade a number of delay lines together, but you will be losing signal quality with each section.
If signal quality and the length of the delay is important, then digital sampling techniques will be very hard to pass up.

Indian Opium

I was walking back from a beach market on the Indian coast, passing between a group of wattle and daub huts with thatched roofing that were arranged in a circle with a dusty track through it and a well in the centre, when I was accosted by a man with very dark skin. Much darker than the locals, who tend to be a mixture of Indian and Portuguese, so have a lighter skin than most Indians. This indicated the person in front of me was from one of the surrounding states and had travelled far to do the deal he was about to offer me. Or maybe he was Afghan and had journeyed over the mountains from the source. He began to speak in the seductive, semi-whispered voice which purveyors of drugs all adopt in that part of the world.
"You want hashish?" He intoned. This was a question I'd normally have answered in the affirmative, but having travelled to Goa from Manali, I wasn't wanting for charas. I shook my head and began to walk away, then he said:
"Opium? Good opium." He could tell I was interested immediately, smiled and began leading me to where his product was stashed, confident of a sale. It's always best to ask how much things are in India, prior to committing to any purchase. But my repeated question was ignored. We passed along the side of the village, between two huts along a bed of extremely questionable litter from which a family of feral pigs scattered at our approach and reached the rear of the huts, overlooking a huge rice field still unplanted and awaiting the monsoon. Someone spoke to him through the wall of the hut and he answered in Hindi, but my knowledge of the local dialect was too poor for me to understand. His response was obviously acceptable, as their conversation ended immediately. He found a wooden box, which he stood on and began reaching into the thatching on the roof, eventually finding what he was after. He showed me five or six sticks of something brown, tightly wrapped in thick cellophane. It looked like opium to me. I smelled one of them, but couldn't detect an odour. He sighed at my incompetence, took the stick from me and peeled back the cellophane from one end of the stick. "Smell now." He said. This time, I noticed a sharp but sweet opium odour I recognised immediately from every fresh poppy I have ever encountered, together with that woodiness that always accompanies any resin. The stick was bendy and the resin clear, with little or no visible plant matter. This was very good shit I was looking at.
We began haggling, a process I was initially very uncomfortable with in India, but which I rapidly had adapted to. The trick is to understand that the reason you're haggling is because you want the item. The seller also wants you to buy. Walking away is of no advantage to either of you, so you both need to push one another's boundaries as far as possible without breaking anyone's balls, bearing in mind that if you pay too much, you spoil things for the next buyer. We eventually settled on the equivalent of 12 pounds for what he said was one tolah, around 12 grams. I'd chosen the larger stick, which looked more like 20. This is a lot of money in India and I'd no doubt hugely overpaid, but I was pleased to have acquired opium at one pound a gram. He told me his name and how to find him when I needed him. I thanked him, knowing I'd make sure we never met again. I walked off down a road of red dust between the paddy fields, occasionally having to shrug off motor rickshaw drivers stopping to offer lifts for what was a five-minute walk. I could feel my heart thumping and had obviously been less calm about the transaction than I thought, knowing the penalties for opium possession, conditions in Indian prisons and the dirty tricks carried out by the underpaid local police. I went to show my purchase to my girlfriend who was waiting for the seafood I'd bought on the beach and was very much more familiar than myself with poppy products and their derivatives.
She squealed and all but fucked me on the spot, eventually promising to do so later, after she'd had some opium. She immediately rolled a small ball, which she swallowed, washed down with some limca and fenny, the local spirit with a lemon mixer. I was filled with romantic ideas of opium dens and Crowley books and insisted that I wanted to smoke it. We made a joint, having rolled the resin into very thin worms, which we smoked on the chairs just outside the room door. It quickly became clear that opium doesn't so much burn as get scorched, turning into clinkers which expand and block the spliff. It made the sides of the joint collapse and eventually the thing became unsmokable. But the mild effects I had experienced even from this small amount made me know I would quickly find a way. We had no pipe, but we did have a chillum from Manali, a tapered clay tube with oriental designs on its surface, which is held between the fingers and smoked pointed upwards, with the other hand forming a seal and opening through which one smokes. I was smart enough to roll a ball that wouldn't block the bowl when the clinker formed and bedded it down on some drum tobacco. Despite, or perhaps because of, it requiring repeated lightings, this method proved ideal. Though we needed to smoke it in the room, which was kind of boutique style, with cream bedding and lots of flower arrangements. It wasn't the kind of place you'd want to defile with tobacco smoke. But we quickly established that the tobacco wasn't really necessary in fresh form and that a bed of tobacco ash worked a lot better. Thus equipped, we smoked ball after ball, her grinning at the reacquaintance with something she'd loved, me filled with excitement on trying a new drug with such a powerful reputation. The effects were a rapid muscle relaxation, a marked slowing of thoughts and a tingly, pleasurable glowing of the extremities. And something else, which seemed to come on with eyes closed, but which I didn't take full advantage of at the time. I liked it so much that I soon made several little pill-sized balls, which we began to consume. This ultimately became my undoing. But for the time being, everything was fantastic.
We finished our indoor session and went outside into the courtyard garden, which was formed from a dozen rooms arranged in a circled. The garden was filled with Queen of The Night bushes, kind of a Jasmine, but with larger, if anything even more fragrant flowers. They were in full bloom and releasing their perfume in the darkness. We sat grinning, with the effects of the opium slowly increasing, sagging off the benches until we almost fell and looking up into a sky full of stars. It was a perfect moment. A perfect matching of drug and environment. But soon, we started to nod, waking ourselves suddenly in full body jerks from seductive unconsciousness which would have propelled us onto the stone paving. It was funny, but we decided to go back to the room and lie on the soft, kingsize bed.
We lit candles and turned off the electric light. India has large candles that burn for many hours with their bottoms formed into broad bases which remove the need for any kind of holder. I decided and announced I needed to make and swallow more pills of opium, which I began to roll between my fingers and line up on the beside table. "Be careful" she told me "Its strong". Always keen to heed the advice of others, I ignored her completely. At which she just laughed and said "You'll see". Despite her proffered advice, she wasn't about to let me eat more of it than her and matched me ball for ball. I didn't at the time understand she had an unlimited tolerance. Each of us ingested perhaps half a dozen of them, then laid back on the bed, ultimately relaxed and tingling with pleasurable waves of happiness. I closed my eyes and that's when the opium really took me.
I'd read about opium pretty extensively, "Confessions of an English Opium Eater" and "Diary of a Drug fiend" being two of my favourite books. But I'd assumed opium dreams happened during sleep or semi-consciousness. This wasn't the case. I was fully awake, yet lost in visualisations which I could to a certain extent control. But I was only one layer under alert and present, the hypnagogic stage. The visions were truly incredible. It was like lucid dreaming, but with more guidance. Magnificence and glory were the themes. We'd already visited lots of temples during our travels, some of which were truly spectacular. But what the opium made me see was off the scale. Colossal constructions, unbuildable but through decades of slavery, columns soaring into vaulted rooves, hieroglyphs and Sanskrit writings carved into single blocks of stone stretching the full length of huge walls. Stone statues, hundreds of them, with Greek grace and Egyptian proportions. Staircases formed from huge blocks of lapis lazuli sparking in torch light. I saw whole buildings gilded and walled with red silks, their knaves extending into distances clouded by incense, which smouldered in brass censors swinging from silver chains. Music, from what sounded like wind and stringed instruments, shrilled from hidden places, bright and fantastic, filled with subtle cadence and tricksy rhythms. Time seemed to pass very strangely, sometimes slowing down so much that the incense smoke barely moved, but at other times passing so rapidly that the fate and destiny of the people I saw concluded as I watched. I was seeing through the eyes of kings, shapers of human lives, concerned with the activities of the entire race, my conclusions affecting all below me. And I was untouchable, a chosen one, my arrogance blended with an actual real superiority, the ability to formulate Solomon-like judgements. How was I seeing these things? Was it the result of the literature I'd read and my expectations? Or was this some kind of race memory or previous life? Certainly, despite my travels, I'd never seen any architecture that even approached the glory and proportion of these vistas. They seemed to be literally built to house Gods and giants. As though they were expressly designed to create environments within which such things could dwell in comfort. And I really felt that I deserved to see these things, that I was one and the same with their occupants, their architects.
Despite their extent, I saw markets within the building dwarfed by their environment, filled with never-ending tent stalls selling brightly coloured fruits I didn't recognise, spices I could smell from yards away, which filled me with memories of things I hadn't done yet. Street performers swung impossibly from sagging tightropes and jugglers threw huge knives and burning clubs into the sky. Dancers span like cloth tops on mounds of broken glass and musicians carrying strangely shaped trumpets which twisted in a double curve and ended over their heads, with the outlet shaped like the mouths of fishes and snakes and dragons, passed in procession through everything, causing those nearest them to dance in a dervish, spinning on the dusty red stone flags under their feet.
These effects didn't so much fade away as become more difficult to access. Eventually, and the experience was truly timeless, I became aware that I needed to piss badly. I struggled back to full consciousness with the same amount of effort it takes to climb up out of a well using the bucket rope and found my girlfriend smiling at me. "Are you OK?" she asked. "Yeah, this is excellent" I replied. "I need a piss though". I got up, rather wobbly and careless of navigating any part of my body below my neck. The bathroom was en suite, so it was perfectly simple to continue our conversation as I relieved my bladder, which we did. I'd read about the different parts of the human brain and their likely functions, their hierarchy and appointed tasks. But the part of my mind that evidently had a big responsibility for my stomach managed to catch me entirely unawares as it noticed I was standing in front of the toilet and made me projectile vomit, in mid-sentence, directly into the bowl, repeatedly and with much gusto, until I was croaking bile onto the semi-digested remains of what had been a delicious lunch. Her loud laughter from the bedroom wasn't helping either.
I reached the second expulsion of bile, which I'd come to realise was a sign of conclusion and washed my mouth, then brushed my teeth. Vomit-breath is highly unattractive. I got back onto the bed besides her and saw "I fucking told you" clearly in her eyes, blended with a sick amusement that irritatingly only made her more attractive. "Are you sure its all out, because it can happen again" She said. I told her I could feel when I was empty. She took the remaining opium from the bedside cabinet on my side of the bed and said she'd be in charge of it from now on. I felt a small rush of complaint, having been the one who'd purchased it, but she was the kind of girl you'd rather fuck than fight, so I swallowed my pride and granted her wish.
Round about this point, just as the tiny muscles in my sides recovered from the intense vomiting, the itching started. The experience so far had been characterised throughout by a delicious tingling all over my skin, which now turned into intense, burning itchiness, requiring immediate scratching. Scratching one area seemed to increase the itches in the others, so I found myself moving from one body part to another, playing itch whack-a-mole on my skin. The universal presence of shit-dust and general filth throughout India had long since stopped me biting my nails, or even putting any part of my fingers into my mouth and I was fully grateful for every millimetre of my fingernails now that they were needed. I soon developed the technique of starting on the crown of my head, working my way over my face, the back of my neck, extending each arm and working from fingertips to shoulder, paying special attention to the armpits, before using both hands to scratch every surface of my torso, including my back as far as I was able, then my buttocks, then my legs slowly and completely from thigh to toe-tips. Occasionally, the skin over my spine on my back where I couldn't reach started itching and I had to request assistance. Having someone else do it was of course much better. As soon as I completed my full-body scratching, the process needed to be begun again, and after an hour of it, I could see she was tired and needed to sleep. My requests for a spine-scratch were growing less and less favourably received.
She said she needed rest, blew out the candle and said "Good luck". I laid down beside her and tested my ability to grow unconscious. There was no way. Ignoring the itches became unbearable difficult. They burned and prickled in waves of irritation, fading when ignored and seeming to pass away. But they were simply gathering their forces and came back ten-fold. The only time I've ever itched this much was when I had chicken pox as a child. A kind of hot, prickly itch, almost indicative of skin damage, the body insisting that resources of the mind are brought to bear on the problem immediately. It lasted for hours. I adopted a yogic asana called the thunderbolt, with my spine straight, upright on the bed fully naked in the Indian night, scratching myself carefully from scalp to toe tips, over and over and over again, making certain not to miss a spot as doing so seemed to make the part jealous, so that the area flared up angrily. Though very necessary, the scratching gave only temporary relief. My capillaries seemed electrified with a prickly, crackling current that continually recharged itself. Occasionally, she turned over for comfort, realised I wasn't laid next to her, said "Are you still scratching?", then laughed at me and went back to sleep.
It was almost dawn when the itching subsided, reducing to intermittent flare-ups on isolated body parts, something I could deal with laid down. Sleep eventually took me, with dreams I recall were strange but not identifiable. We hadn't planned on doing anything much that day and she woke me around noon, with a dish from the kitchen that we'd taken to calling breakfast prawns. "So, did you like the opium?" she asked. I overlooked the vomiting and itchiness and recalling how magnificent the dreams had been, how total the relaxation and feeling of godlike untouchability, I said I thought it was incredible.
She laughed and said "but I'm in charge of it from now on" and I said OK.
'If you're one of those who can, make certain that you do."

One Reason to Avoid Coachella Next Year? Herpes
It's not exactly a sexual revolution but it sounds like plenty of people were getting down and getting it on during Coachella since a huge spike in herpes was discovered during and following the monumental event. One might think that this would be a good reason to just say 'no' to the next event but they might also be called a prude for doing such a thing. Thankfully herpes isn't as severe as other outbreaks but it can still be painful and embarrassing depending on the situation. What happened at Coachella almost makes the event sound like it was one big orgy, but the occurrence does in fact seem to indicate that people were having a good time and simply forgot that what goes around comes around, literally in some cases. As Jessica Lindsay from Metro would say some folks came back from Coachella with more than just good memories.
To be fair it seems that despite a few gaffs here and there and some technical mishaps Coachella did go pretty well according to Patrice Peck from Buzzfeed. But when anything that speaks of a biological issue breaking out in a massive crowd this size it tends to worry a lot of folks and even keep some at a distance. With the popularity of Coachella and the lineup it boasts however it doesn't seem that herpes would be enough to keep it from dwindling when it comes to fans. If anything it's a testament to the lack of intelligence or care that's being taken among those that engage in sexual acts these days and the idea that anything goes when it comes to various festivals where people are having a good time and not generally caring who they sleep with or fool around with so long as they get to have fun. Yeah, those days have come before, they were called the 60s, they were called Woodstock, and some people are still paying the price for them. Herpes isn't the worst thing that can come out of this, but on a scale as was seen during this recent festival it seems kind of troubling that so many people would disregard their health in such a manner.
On the upside most if not all of the individuals that were affected did seek treatment and were able to receive it within a decent amount of time. Despite the blundering and questionable acts that led to this social gaffe it's still nice to see that some folks don't just take the itching and burning and try to see if it will go away. This does tend to mean that people are taking their sexual health at least a little more seriously these days and are willing to finally admit that they did something rather foolish even if it didn't seem so at the time. In truth you can't really fault Coachella or anyone that had anything to do with it, as just being at festival doesn't mean it's the festival's fault or those that are running it. A lot of people become absolutely unhinged and uninhibited when they attend an event such as this, some folks are this way when they attend a concert within their hometown as it's been seen.
Suzannah Weiss from Glamour talks about how rape and sexual assault have become, unfortunately, a part of the whole festival and concert scene since people tend to think that gatherings of this size are perfect arenas in which to do as they want. That's not what Coachella is known for to be honest, nor is it the goal of any festival or concert, but it is a danger and a concern. While it wouldn't appear that any rapes or assaults were reported, though sexual harassment seems to be a big problem that some discuss and some simply let pass. While a lot of people state that BeyChella was life-changing, perhaps if you enjoy Beyonce, the issue of men touching women inappropriately is another reason why Coachella has been cracking down on people when it comes to various actions and has counselors on hand to deal with the issue should people need this.
It does seem a bit depressing to think that a festival such as Coachella might be, or rather is, mired in the same feelings of resentment that come from sexual harassment, especially considering that it's meant, like all festivals, to be a good time for people to come, dance, be a part of something great, and just enjoy themselves. But despite the fact that Coachella's numbers might not dwindle as a result, it's reputation could take a hit eventually if this is the kind of thing that continues to happen year after year. Live concerts and festivals are a lot of fun, but technically the only thing you really want to leave with are memories and souvenirs, the type that don't require medication.

Q: SQL Server Delta Records Pulling In our SQL Server DB, we have about some 800+ tables and there are 40 - 50 tables are business critical tables. MIS team needs to generate reports based on those 50 business tables.
Those 50 tables gets updated frequently. MIS team requires those delta records (update/inserted/deleted)
What would be the best solution?
We have few approches here
1.Always On 2.Replication 3.Mirroring 4.Introducing new column (LastModifiedDate & creating index) in those 50 tables and pulling those records periodically and populating it to MIS environment.
There will be huge code change for the new column LastModifiedDate approach.
Based on those 50 tables, we have huge number of stored procedures which it has Insert/Update
statements. In those stored procedures, we need to do code change for LastModifiedDate.
What would be the best solution from the above approches?
Pls let us know if any other approach to do. Note: We are using SQL Server 2008 R2
Regards Karthik

A: One approach is to have insert, update and delete triggers on these tables, and for each table an archive table with exactly the same columns plus e.g. username, modifieddatetime and a bit to indicate new and old.  Then the triggers simply insert into archive select from inserted/deleted + current user, current time and 1 for inserted and 0 for deleted.
Then all your MIS need to concern themselves with is the archive tables, and you will not need to make a structure change to the existing tables.

The Mars rover Curiosity may have a busy schedule of exploring The Gale Crater, but that doesn't mean it can't stop & enjoy the view once and a while.
On June 22, Curiosity shared a series of photographs of a very alien, yet familiar phenomenon: The Mars sunset.

But Curiosity didn't stop at snapping as the sun went down. Right after the sunset, (as similar here on earth,) The two martian moons rose.
Curiosity timed it just right to look up and take a series of images with its Navigation Camera at night just as Mars' biggest moon, Phobos, scooted across the sky. A selection of the sequence of photographs are shown below.

This was one recipe that, when I started, I must admit I was a little bit intimidated by. Which is just silly because it couldn't be easier. I saw the bakers on that British baking contest show being given Biscotti as a baking challenge and thought, I can do that! You know what I was right! They used all kinds of different combinations of ingredients and you can personalize this recipe to your own tastes too. I love the combination of almonds and orange together. I just think they are a marriage made in heaven, but if you like something else please adapt this to your liking.
However, if you are going to use almonds, may I make a suggestion, that I think makes a gigantic difference?! Don't buy roasted almonds. Just don't. It is SO easy to roast your own and then you are sure to get the flavor and freshness you like. Tell a friend your roasting your own almonds! They will think you are a gourmet! It amazes me how many people are surprised by this very easy step. Buy Raw Almonds at your local Sprouts or whole foods supplier, for this recipe you need at least a cup and a half, maybe a little more. I wait until they go on sale and stock up. They keep well and I roast what I need right before using them in my baking.
To roast your almonds, spread them out on a baking/cookie sheet in a single layer, place in a preheated oven at 325*F until you start to smell them. It's heavenly! About 20-25 minutes, depending on how you like them. They will continue to cook a little after you have removed them from the oven so keep that in mind when you are checking them. That's it! No Salt. No oil! Nothing. You are using them for baking, so you want them to be simply pure wonderful roasted almond goodness! (You may want to make a handful or two more than you need for your recipe because if you're anything like me you'll need to 'taste test' several before they fully cool.. Insert smiley here. :) ) Assemble your ingredients. See the recipe card at bottom of the page.
I always think it's a little daunting when starting a new type of baking and your not sure what it is supposed to look like. Therefore, I like to add as many images as I can for you to see, so you know you are on the right path. This is what your batter looks like after you have creamed your butter and sugar, added your eggs, zest and flavorings.
Yes, it has a bit of a curdled look, but that's okay. That is how it is supposed to look.
After adding your flour mixture with chopped almonds, your finished cookie dough should look something like this. May I just tell you I think I would make this even if nobody liked them but me? I'm serious, the combination of the fresh orange zest with the almond and vanilla extracts produces an aroma that is just short of Heaven.
Biscotti actually means twice cooked (or baked) in Latin. In fact, The word biscotti, in this sense, shares its origin with the British English word "biscuit", which describes what American English-speakers refer to as a "cookie". In modern Italian, the word biscotti refers to any cookie or cracker, just as does the British use of the word "biscuit". The number of bakings or hardness is not relevant to the term. In America, the term "biscotti" refers only to this specific Italian cookie. I know. I'm a bit of a food nerd, but I love to learn!
(Your Biscotti, after their first bake should look like this. Immediately mist them with your spring or purified water and let sit for five minutes before cutting) Using this trick will help prevent your cookies from crumbling under your knife.
Please don't be deterred if you get some crumbs or a few of your Biscotti crumble, most will turn out just perfectly and the odds and ends are for the chef! Lucky us!
Return your cut cookies to the oven for their second bake, with your heat now decreased from 350*F to 300*F. This step takes about another 20-25 minutes. When you are done with your 2nd bake, they will look something like this. :) Yay! You have just made Biscotti! Not to mention roasted your own almonds.
For the finishing touch (not all people like chocolate and this step can be omitted) I personally love it! Melt a cup of your favorite chocolate, I add a teaspoon of canola oil for that nice shiny look, but it's not necessary, pour it onto to a flat plate, this makes your dipping much easier and keeps you significantly cleaner. Dip one side of your cookie and place chocolate side down onto wax paper.

Charles Albright is a convicted American serial killer, he is a diagnosed psychopath who was found guilty of killing a woman in 1991 by means of shooting her in the head and removing her eyeballs. There was only enough evidence to convict Albright of this one particular crime but it is suspected that he is responsible for having killed a total of three women in the 1990's due to his signature mutilation, which earned him the nickname "Texas Eyeball Killer".
Albright was adopted from an orphanage as a child and was brought up in a very strict environment by his stepmother Delle, who also happened to be a teacher. As Albright got older he managed to hold down a prosperous job as a biology teacher, married and fathered children. For many years he successfully concealed his criminal record which dated back to his teenage years.
He made himself out to be a faithful family man but unbeknownst to those close to him he had a much darker side lurking underneath. Albright would frequently visit prostitutes and quickly developed masochistic behaviours, as well as a growing an unusual fetish for human eyes.
Charles Albright is now incarcerated in the John Montford Psychiatric Unit in Lubbock, Texas.

Communication plays a pivotal role in all types of relationships whether it is personal or professional. Feelings must be expressed and reciprocated in relationships. Individuals need to communicate with each other effectively for better understanding. Do not stay mum as it leads to problems and misunderstandings. Two people in love must interact with each other on a regular basis through various modes of communication such as telephone, emails, letters (though exchanging letter is now considered an outdated form of communication). Staying in touch is essential for the love to grow especially in long distance relationships where individuals can't meet quite often.
Do not overreact on petty things in relationships. Stay calm. Be a little more adjusting. Be the first one to say "Sorry". It will solve half of your problems.
As they say "Smile is a curve that makes everything staright." Flash your smile more often. It works. Take care of your facial expressions while interacting with the other person.
Every relationship needs time and an individual's effort to grow. Sit with your partner and try to sort out the differences amicably. Don't be too rigid.


The following article, written by filmmaker and artist Morgan Fisher, was originally published in Cinema Scope 38, Spring 2009. Thank you to Morgan Fisher and Mark Peranson for allowing me to republish it here. Criterion's Detour Blu-ray is available on March 19, 2019.
In the narration of a short film I finished in 1984, I talked about the last shot in Detour (1945), directed by Edgar G. Ulmer. My commentary was brief, and I knew even then that there was more to be said. The film in which I talk about Detour is Standard Gauge. It's one continuous extreme close-up that shows one after another pieces of 35mm film that I had gathered in the course of my employment as an editor in Hollywood, while on the track I talk about each in turn. Apart from the titles, the film consists of this one shot, which is 32 minutes long.
A version of this interview was originally published by The Hollywood Reporter, May 5, 2016. Below is the complete transcript.
At 90 years old, director Claude Lanzmann made his first trip to the Academy Awards this past February on behalf of the Oscar-nominated documentary short film, Claude Lanzmann: Spectres of the Shoah, Adam Benzine's moving tribute to the nonfiction filmmaking titan and his most celebrated work, the landmark nine-hour Holocaust documentary Shoah (1985). Featuring new interviews with Lanzmann and a selection of critics and fellow directors, as well as unreleased footage from the making of Shoah, Benzine's film is both an inside look at how a work of such historic and cinematic magnitude came to be and a loving portrait of an artist whose integrity and sense of humanity remains undiminished. Claude Lanzmann: Spectres of the Shoah premieres on HBO on Monday, May 2, at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Canada's Catholic bishops have responded to Pope Francis' call to minister to people on the margins of society while making efforts to ensure the Catholic Church is not marginalized.
"In virtue of our Gospel mandate, the church willingly goes to people on the margins to affirm their dignity and foster their full inclusion in society," Archbishop Richard Smith of Edmonton, Alberta, president of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, said Sept. 23, the opening day of the bishops' plenary assembly. "Yet as we go to the edge, many seek to keep us there, even push us over.
"The trends we see are worrying, yes, but hardly surprising," Archbishop Smith told the more than 80 bishops from across Canada.
Archbishop Smith said he visited Kiev, Ukraine, in August for the consecration of a new cathedral of the Ukrainian Catholic Church. The event commemorated the 1,025th anniversary of the baptism of Grand Prince Vladimir, who declared Christianity the official religion in Kievan Rus, lands now making up parts of Belarus, Ukraine and Russia.
He described how the church in those lands "lived not just in the peripheries but was actually forced underground." He said the event he attended was made possible by the "power of faithful witness."
The example of Ukrainian Catholics "can serve as an inspiration to us in Canada," Archbishop Smith said. "In admittedly different circumstances, the church is needing to confront in our own country pressures seeking to relegate us to the margins.
"This is turning the question of the relationship of the church to the periphery on its head," he said.
In Quebec, citizens are debating the proposed Charter of Quebec Values, which would ban public sector workers from wearing any religious signs or attire except for discreet pieces of jewelry. It would, however, allow the crucifix to remain in the National Assembly of Quebec.
"The political parties have good intentions to leave the crucifix in the national assembly as a vestige of Quebec's cultural and historical patrimony," Archbishop Paul-Andre Durocher of Gatineau, Quebec, CCCB vice president, said in his homily during the opening Mass of the bishops' meeting. For believers, he said, the crucifix serves as more than a reminder of the past, but a symbol of the life devoted to loving others that Christians are called to live.
Archbishop Durocher also quoted Pope Francis' interview published Sept. 19 in Jesuit publications around the world and urged his fellow bishops to listen to the pontiff's words: "The thing that the church needs most today is the ability to heal wounds and warm the hearts of the faithful; it needs nearness and proximity. I see the church as a field hospital after battle."
Archbishop Smith recalled the excitement in Rome when Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio stepped onto the balcony after being elected pope, taking the name Francis.
"From that moment, and consistently ever since, he has summoned all of us to a ministry and mission that places at the center of our concern all those whom society relegates to the peripheries," he said.
"Through his visits to youth in a Roman jail, to migrants on the Italian island of Lampedusa, or to the destitute of a Brazilian favela, the Holy Father is summoning the whole church to be embraced by the energy of divine love and to allow its dynamism to send us forth anew on mission," said Archbishop Smith, who was to conclude his two-year term as CCCB president at the end of the assembly.
Archbishop Smith spoke of the lightning bolt that struck St. Peter's Basilica in Rome the day Pope Benedict XVI announced his resignation from office and compared the election of Pope Francis as another "bolt from the blue."
He said this year's plenary assembly "will be largely shaped" by Pope Francis' call to consider those on the margins. The plenary agenda included topics such as solidarity with First Nations people, protecting life and family, the ministry of the church's development and relief organizations and upholding religious freedom.

Second Test: Australia v Sri..
Well, it's the last Test of the summer when Australia take on Sri Lanka in the second Test on Friday in Canberra.
It will also be the first time we see Test cricket played at Manuka Oval.
Australia put a dismal series against India behind them by defeating Sri Lanka by a whopping innings and 40 runs in the opening Test at the Gabba.
Pat Cummins was the hero with his first 10-wicket haul for Australia, while Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head made a pair of eighties.
With the hosts likely to go into the second Test unchanged, it could be the last chance for several aspirants to press their Ashes claims.
On the other hand, the struggling Sri Lankan side will need a big turnaround as they fight to level the Warne-Muralitharan Trophy.
But more importantly, you'll be able to hear every ball LIVE on Macquarie Sports Radio Cricket from 10:00am AEDT.
Welcome to Macquarie Sports Radio's Summer Of Cricket.
That's Macquarie Sports Radio's commitment this summer, as well as bringing you the best commentary team in Australia.

Marvel teases 'Black Widow' solo movie
'I would say certainly the one creatively and emotionally that we are most committing to doing is Black Widow,' Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige says

MANILA, Philippines – Marvel seems to be an unstoppable juggernaut churning out one superhero blockbuster after another – and more down the pipeline until 2019. Without anything set in stone, Marvel has expressed that they are "creatively and emotionally" committed to making a movie for Black Widow.
Speaking to Deadline, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige replied to a question as to which of the side characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) could headline a movie.
He said, "We've announced the next nine movies, 10 counting Civil War, through the end of 2019. Where we go beyond that are ongoing discussions that we'll focus on in the next few years because we have a lot to do before then." (READ: 'Captain America: Civil War': 15 awesome fun facts)
"Of the characters that you've just mentioned I would say certainly the one creatively and emotionally that we are most committing to doing is Black Widow," he added.
Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow, in the cinematic universe, is a former Soviet spy and assassin-turned-SHIELD agent. She is played by actress Scarlett Johansson and first appeared in Iron Man 2 (2010) and recently, in Captain America: Civil War.
Feige went on to tell Deadline about the character and Scarlett's turn: "We think she's an amazing character. We think Scarlett Johansson's portrayal of her is amazing. She's a lead Avenger and has amazing stories in her own right to tell that we think would be fun to turn into a stand-alone franchise."
Civil War filmmakers the Russo Brothers, Anthony and Joe, also expressed interest in seeing Black Widow headline a film. (READ: About that 'Captain America: Civil War' ending: Director Joe Russo explains)
"We find that the character is one of the richest, if not the richest, character in the Marvel universe," Joe Russo said, as quoted by Entertainment Weekly. "She's a very complex character. She's haunted by demons and her understanding of the world is fascinating. I think there is a lot that can be done with that character."
In a separate interview with Collider, the filmmaking duo mentioned that it may just be a matter of scheduling. "I don't think [it'll take] much. I think it's just a function of where on the slate it goes. She's a badass," said Joe.
It was earlier reported in 2010 that negotiations were initiated with Scarlett. "We've already started discussions with Scarlett about the idea of a solo movie and have begun putting together concepts, but The Avengers comes first," said Feige, as quoted by SuperHeroHype.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been criticized for lacking in female leads. It is currently in phase 3 of its slate of releases, which includes the third Avengers film, Infinity War Part 1 (2018), as well as Black Panther (2018), Doctor Strange (November 2016), and Captain Marvel (2019) – a superheroine. – Rappler.com

After the Austrian Freedom Party politician Norbert Hofer nearly won the presidential election with 49.7 percent of the vote, we are witnessing a flurry in the right-wing press. Each person tries to analyse this unique success and seek guidance from it for the patriotic movement in his own languishing nation. But I am afraid it is not so easy to just copy the concept of Mr. Hofer and the Freedom Party and apply it precisely in the same way to your own country.
Matt Parrott, in his article The "Prole Gap" in White Nationalism expresses the view that parts of the American White nationalist movement is too intellectual and elitist to appeal to the uneducated masses and that it therefore needs to change in order to do so. His opinion might be based upon a disputable poll that circulated soon after the election, claiming to prove that more people with higher education voted for the leftist candidate Alexander Van der Bellen, while the majority of the working class chose Norbert Hofer. This seemed to suggest that metapolitics and Gramscianism are less important for our victory, than the Alt Right likes to point out.
Mr. Parrott, like a lot of American writers, is looking yearningly towards his "brothers abroad in Europe," who seem to be more advanced concerning real world realisation of our nationalist ideas. I am not a naysayer who moans that "a miss is as good as a mile," but even in Austria, a country that is sometimes referred to by the mainstream media as being the most right-wing Western European state, we are stiioesll far away from gaining the power we need to prevent the multicultural genocide that is waiting for us.
Regardless of what the leftist media tries to tell you, the Freedom Party is not a far-right party and Norbert Hofer is not a hard-line "nationalist." In fact he is the softest politician the party came up with in the last few years, and that is one of the main reasons why so many Austrians voted for him this time. The party had in the past a lot of provocative representatives that had spoken out straightly and loved to shock the liberals with their blustering. But those politicians have all gone. Some have even been dismissed from the party by Mr. Hofer himself.
The more the Freedom Party gained popularity, the more it took pains to be careful and acceptable to the majority of the brainwashed and fearful citizens who still are terribly afraid of being called a "Nazi." So also for us it is important to spread our ideas in the periphery of the party to ensure that it continuously moves towards "the real right".
Mr. Hofer is indeed exceptional and definitely the most likable Austrian politician at the moment. The party has more than enough hacks who are also disciplined and loyal, but Mr. Hofer is really outstanding when it comes to appearances in the media. As always they did their best to throw dirt at him but he always keeps smiling and stays friendly and likeble while he is still making his points and attacking his opponents. Throughout the whole campaign, the united forces of the establishment could not manage to destroy his reputation or seriously discountenance him.
Mr. Trump, of course, is the opposite, and this is good. As I have already mentioned, the Freedom Party also had more aggressive and controversial candidates in the past, and it was the right strategy back then. In our modern media world provocation is the political weapon of choice for those who have no power. A few years ago deliberate provocation was an easy and reliable tool for the Freedom Party to gain attention, but now there is no need for that anymore and instead it tries to be respectable.
As Mr. Parrot correctly stated, Mr. Trump starts from a completely different position without having a big organisation and established structures behind him. But the big difference between the American and the Austrian political situation is, that in the USA it is obviously possible to become the front-runner of one of the big parties without having the approval of the majority of the important lobbies within the party. In Austria, and I think in most of Europe, this is not possible. Such things as primary elections do not exist in the Old World.
In Austria we have our own cuckservative party too, but there is no real chance that it will ever change. So American conservatives theoretically can carry out a revolution within the old organisations and structures. I can, however, not judge if this really could be an option on the long run. But to establish a new "third" party instead, seems also almost impossible. Even in a small country like Austria, this is very hard, and I really cannot imagine how such a giant project could be effected in a huge Leviathan like the USA.
So metapolitics is still of great importance. Every movement needs its intellectual leaders and ideological background. Also, the Freedom Party is not only composed of "proles." It has its own close corporations and academics within its ranks. Gustave Le Bon wrote in his magnum opus The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind, that the big ideas of an age are adopted by the masses in an oversimplified way, but that they first have to exist within the intellectual circles. What I agree with Mr. Parrott on is that the movement has to leave the internet and the sacred halls of philosophy and to reconquer the streets. Or in other words: The USA also needs its "PEGIDA" to pressure its dusty conservatives.


On November 13th, 2018, many people from our community spoke to the board of trustees for the Dixie School District regarding the school name. Attendees spoke both for and against the proposed name change. At the conclusion of the meeting, the 5 member board voted as to whether the actual residents and taxpayers of our 150+ year Dixie School District should be allowed to vote democratically and decide as a community as to whether or not the name of our school and district should be changed.
The outcome of the vote was 4-1: 4 in Favor of a democratic vote within our community, 1 Against (with board member Marnie Glickman Curtis casting the only vote against).
The most compelling speaker of the night was Marge Grow-Eppard, a MIWOK INDIAN from the Sheep Ranch Rancheria in Calaveras County. She is a descendant and tribe member of the same tribe as the Dixie family whom we believe our district could be named after. Learn more about the history of the Dixie Name.
After her speech, David Curtis husband of board member Marnie Glickman Curtis and vocal advocate to change the name, blurted out to the Miwok "and how do you think the Dixie Miwoks got their name?" He then challenged her to show proof her ancestors were not named by a white man after the confederacy. He obviously has failed to read our history of the Dixie name page or to check the Calaveras census to see that the family had their name for at least 30 years before the civil war and Mary Dixie received her name when she married a man in the Dixie family.
OF INTEREST: Many Miwoks got their colonized names after being baptized by missionaries in the late 1700's into the early 1800s which predated the Civil War by decades. They have chosen to keep their Christian names for over 200 years and should not be made to feel ashamed of them. Did you know that Marin County is named after the baptized Miwok Chief Huicmuse aka. Chief Marin? Our county proudly took on a colonized Miwok name as should our school district.
After listening to the public speak about their arguments to change or not change the name, the five board members spoke about their feelings on the name change. Four of the members felt as if it was too big of a decision to make without going to our community to hear what they wanted and they felt the best and least expensive way to do this was through an advisory vote on the 2020 ballot.
One lone board member, Marnie Glickman Curtis, gave a speech as to why she was going to be the only board member to vote no for the public vote. One of the reasons she provided was that she felt the KKK and the Koch brothers could come and fund the campaign. Additionally, she went on to say she was concerned right wing extremists would come to San Rafael and create riots where Molotov cocktails are thrown and many could be injured or killed in riots over changing our district and school name.
Another community member spoke to the board about the actual name Dixie and highlighted the fact that the name "Dixie" had been in existence for 450 years, long before the confederacy. It was mentioned that the name has many meanings to many different people: there are 21 towns named Dixie in the United States, 1 in Australia, and 1 if Africa. There is a Dixie National Forest, other Dixie schools/districts/universities, including one in England named in the 1600's . Canada has a Dixie transit line and station as well as an outlet mall. Many large and respected businesses (including publicly traded ones as well as Fortune 500 companies) have the name Dixie in them. Thousands of people throughout the world have the first or last name Dixie and are not ashamed of who they are or their name, which includes the Dixie Miwok family from Vallecito, California.
This person also said that in France, the first name Dixie derives from the French word for ten and was used to name the child born 10th in the family. James Miller had 10 children that were all born by the time he built and named the Dixie School.
Her speech was not videotaped but should be noted.
Below is the information board shared at the meeting on numerous places on the internet where the word or name Dixie is used throughout the world in different ways.

More Chocorooms! This time I have purple sweet Potato with white chocolate and black sesame seeds!
After trying the original, reviewed here, my sister was eager to try more! She loves this line! (It's so cute!) I picked up a few flavors, so soon you'll see reviews on strawberry and butterscotch soon!
The box is bright and eye catching. Judging from the image, I am guessing roasted sweet potatoes are a fall treat in Japan. There seems to be a fall theme to the box with leaves being Autumn colors. The package opens in the front, a lot like the Meltykiss Almonds I reviewed the other day, but the layout is arranged around the perforations so when I do open the box the design isn't destroyed.I like that a lot!
Inside are individually wrapped little 'mushrooms.' Each one has a purple, taro, top and a white chocolate bottom. The white chocolate is mixed with black sesame seeds. It has the same biscuit stick as original Chocorooms.
Once I open the individual wrapper, I smell very strong white chocolate. There is a slight hint of sweet potato, but it is lost in the white chocolate.
Sadly, I think the white chocolate over powers a lot of the other flavors too. I mostly taste white chocolate with a hint of black sesame. I can barely taste any sweet potato at all. The white chocolate is soft and almost fudge-y. and as you chew it melts away in your mouth. The biscuit tastes just like an un-coated Pocky stick.
Overall these are nice, but they aren't sweet potato. Unless you're craving white chocolate, I'd avoid these.
